Abstract excerpt
The plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea PG4180 produces coronatine (COR), a phytotoxin which functions as a virulence factor in bacterial blight of soybeans. The COR biosynthetic gene cluster in PG4180 is borne on a 90-kb plasmid named p4180A. Although pathway-specific regulatory genes for COR have been identified, global regulatory genes for COR production in PG4180 remain undefined. In the present...
